About

In order to prepare for a career as a professional nurse, Kirkhof College of Nursing highly encourages involvement in the Student Nurses’ Association.  Belonging to a nursing organization is part of having a professional identity!  In fact, many health care institutions require involvement in professional committees. GVSU Student Nurses’s Association is an ideal organization for membership because it provides opportunities for professional development, community service, and leadership.  The local association is comprised of a board of directors, including a president, vice president, secretary, treasurer, community wellness director, image and break through to nursing director, website director, membership director, evaluations director, and liaison to KCON’s faculty curriculum committee.  All members have the option of applying for delegate status, and with that comes voting privileges.  Faculty advisors are involved to help provide direction and encouragement.

GVSU SNA is a chapter of the National/Michigan SNA and is an official GVSU organization registered through the Student Life Office.  The association meets weekly to discuss conference planning, potential speakers, fundraising, and various student issues.  There are three student conferences throughout the year, and GVSU SNA is represented at each.
